Figure 1. Role of ILF within the GALT of the intestine. ILF
consist of a heterogeneous population of immune cells that includes DCs,
T cells, Tfh-like cells and Treg cells. Moreover, they comprise of B
cells, IgA+ B cells, IgG+ B cells and IgM+ B cells, supporting their
role in the class switching of B cells. Human ILFs plays a role as
crucial immune inducer sites of adaptive immune response with an ability
to produce secretory IgA that plays a role in providing the first line
of defence in the intestinal tissue.
DCs, dendritic cells; Ig, Immunoglobulin; ILF, isolated lymphoid
follicles; Tfh, T follicular helper cells.
